Blizzard’s Titan Unlikely to be Subscription-Based MMO

Blizzard has provided a brief update on Titan, its long-awaited next project. In a call reporting Activision Blizzard’s second quarter 2013 earnings today, Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime said that Titan is “unlikely to be a subscription-based MMORPG.”

Morhaime noted that Blizzard is currently “in the process of selecting a new direction for the project and re-envisioning what we want the project to be.” He noted that a “commitment to quality has always been at the core of Blizzard’s values” and noted that the team has gone through a similar iterative process in past “genre-defining” games, plus reiterated that there is no projected or announced release date for Titan. Morhaime also said that some developers have been shifted from Titan to other projects like Blizzard All-Stars.
